ABSTRACT
This chapter explores processes of change and narratives of regional identity that have been constructed within the spatial planning discourse. The discussion encompasses European trans-national regions, administrative regions within nationstates, city-regions and rural sub-regions. Thus the chapter is comparative with respect to spatial scale but also internationally. The aim is to analyse how different regions are changing and what place identities are being constructed through spatial planning in response to those changes. In this way, the chapter applies the concepts from the first part of the book to practical examples, with the NoordXXI Interreg project and data collected within it providing the base for the analysis.
